Christian Standard BibleKing James Bible
1God, hear my voice when I am in anguish. Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2Hide me from the scheming of wicked people, from the mob of evildoers,2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4shooting from concealed places at the blameless. They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5They adopt an evil plan; they talk about hiding traps and say, "Who will see them?"5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6They devise crimes and say, "We have perfected a secret plan." The inner man and the heart are mysterious.6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly, they will be wounded.7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8They will be made to stumble; their own tongues work against them. All who see them will shake their heads.8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9Then everyone will fear and will tell about God's work, for they will understand what he has done.9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10The righteous one rejoices in the LORD and takes refuge in him; all those who are upright in heart will offer praise.10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
